I am an empathetic, patient, results-oriented tutor with 10 years of experience working with all age groups. As a UC Berkeley grad, I have taught in NYC public schools, and have led private tutoring sessions in various subjects. I am always available to answer any questions the student may have post-sessions.

I come from a long line of educators (two grandparents and both my parents!). From them I have learned the importance of building the student up, to always instill confidence in his or her own abilities through guidance and one-on-one practice. This is my philosophy as a tutor and I'm proud to say that it has proven to be successful time and again. I'm looking forward to meeting you and achieving solid results together!

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

Anyone can improve their understanding of a subject. I believe in helping students cultivate a growth mindset, where everyone can change and grow through practice and application.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

The student will be asked questions to assess their level and needs. Then we will look at a specific problem together, and the student will be asked to "talk me through" their problem-solving process.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I help by boosting their confidence in their own abilities to solve problems, and through practice.
